Install Wine; check out posts from john; i haven't had an invalid result in 2 days & have racked up ~700pts (its twice as fast as linux version) (but not as satisfying )
here's John's post to me ....

**********************************
You can do a search on WINE: see also my following answer in another thread I gave.
IMHO running under Linux is waste of time; after a couple of approved and credited WU's,all my recent WU's are credited 0 again.
Combine this with the slow running om all platforms but Windows, I decided to install wine also, plse have a look at the follwing site about dll's and installshield issue's and setup will be easy.
Plse use the 4.19 version for windows and run 'nice wine boinc_cli.exe -return_results_immediately -allow_remote_gui_rpc'
Do not forget to export the warnings as follows, (before starting boinc !! in the xterm):
export WINEDEBUG="err-all,warn-all,fixme-all,trace-all"
You can have the screensaver then by telnetting to port 127.0.0.1 31416
Results so far are good for most people,
Hopefully there will be a better native solution for specific nonWin platforms
PS.
Without the 'export WINEDEBUG' there will be many errors in your xterm window; they seem to be related with sceduling but they do NOT however influence the results; I have already meny credited WU's and crunching is without errors for 96 hr already.

I've had no luck at all getting it to run with wine. I can get through the install, attach and download work, but then they just immediately error with the following stderr output:

And I am not a computer anything except user - so that's all nothing but plain old jibberish to me.
I'm in the same spot as AK1001 at this point - I'm surrendering. I have 2 systems that are dual boot. One of them is my primary system, so I boot it into windows when I go to bed, but I can't stand to use windows so I have to boot it back into linux when I get up. My others are linux only and sit off in a closet with me only accessing them with ssh, so booting them into windows isn't an option.
Between 3 different issues it's driving me insane trying to keep einstein going. Most annoying is that einstein rarely restarts after a project change. Then there's the issue of the linux client being so slow, and then combine that with the fact that a lot of the work gets marked invalid after all that, and it's just a bit much.
I've set all my systems today to an alternate profile that will stop any further work from downloading. Once they've finished what they have now, I'll detatch them from einstein and just let them keep going with projects that aren't giving them so much grief. Not what I want to do, but I'm used to checking them every couple weeks and finding everything going ok, not having to check them every couple hours and finding problems.

i used the 4.19 version of boinc, which version did you install ??
I am using a win2000 PC & 98% of the WU are valid. I am also using Fedora core 3 on my server, which is hyperthreaded, & I have 40% of the WU are valid. At first I thought it was the hyperthreading, so I cut it down to use one processor & that has stepped it valid results to about 50%.
i'm about to take one machine offline, which started to turn out a lot of zero-score results (about 60..70%) all of a sudden two weeks ago. wine is no option on that machine. That's an athlon XP 2400+, running linux (debian, kernel 2.4.27). Other machines which i have commited include athlon XP 1700+ to XP 2600+, all of them running linux, but as far only this machine exhibits the problem: http://einsteinathome.org/host/39647/tasks

I think, that Einstein seems to be a (very) little bit buggy, because also to me it happens, that a lot of Units are "state: invalid" It takes a day of CPU to get no credit - and this is very frustrating. I should better go back to seti, because CPU ist better used. Dont think, that Einstein people dosn't need invalid results too. (btw: the machine ist linux, no additional boinc project running - no crashes up and runnig for a couple of month. therefore the calculation in the applications sometimes runs into rubbish.... :-(

That was with 4.19. From what I've read anything newer isn't working with wine for anyone, so all of my attempts were with 4.19.

Good bye, it was fun. I'm not willing anymore to commit time to a project which favors windows machines.

So CaffeineJunkie, let me get this straight, if you stub your toe you will cut off the leg? Why not use a little salve instead?
You admit it only happens on one machine so maybe that machine needs a little help?
Did you try reinstalling Boinc?
What other differences are there between machines that work and the one that doesn't?
It might be a bug....
... or maybe someone just set Cancel_Credit=YES?hostid=39647 ;)
